donât look down
(albedo x reader)
_________________
âCome on Albedo, give it a rest. Youâve been cooped up here for 3 days! You need to eat.â You push your way into the tent despite him telling you to leave right when you opened it up.
âNot now. Iâm not going to repeat myself. Iâm almost done, food can wait, now leave.â He didnât even bother glancing back at you.
Your hands only tightened around the lunch you made him, saying nothing more you walked up to where he was sitting and placed the soup you made for him on his table, though as you did so you managed to knock down the ink he was using to write all over his paperwork, the very paperwork heâs been writing on for his experiment for the past three days.
You froze, opening your mouth to say something but nothing came out, you felt stupid.
Albedo only stared at the ink seeping into the paper, mixing the words he wrote into one big pile of nothing. He only gently put down the pen next to him, head falling into his hands as he exhaled, trying his absolute best to not lose it completely.
âBedo Iâm sorry.â
âGet out.â He cleared his throat, inhaling sharply through his nose as he raised his head. âNow! Get out, leave, I donât want to see you. Youâve done enough.â He closed his eyes, temples throbbing.
âI-I can help just let me-â
The soup you made went flying to the floor, some of the liquid spilled out of the bag spreading onto the floor along with some papers, making you jump back at the sudden movement.
âIâm not going to repeat myself,â his hands slammed down onto the table âJUST LEAVE! GO! YOU'VE RUINED ENOUGH!â His voice rose higher than youâve ever heard it, making you immediately turn around, grabbing nothing as you did what he told you to.
You felt horrible. Of course you try doing something nice once in a while and it ends up biting you back for no reason. You didnât mean to ruin his hard work but yet you still managed to do so in the simplest stupidest way possible. âIdiot! Why didnât I look before I placed it down.â You mumble to yourself, feeling utterly guilty as you make your way down the familiar trail to the scenic view you always visit.
You knew he needed a breather, a second to calm down, it was all your fault so you have no right to feel bad for yourself. He told you to leave in the beginning. You shouldâve listened then.
As you were walking down the trail you felt how much colder one of your legs was then the rest of your body, your brows furrow as you looked down only to them notice a huge wet patch on your leg, presumably from the soup. You didnât even feel the soup hit your leg, let alone the burn from it as you scanned the red patch that now littering your skin. Though you felt bad you couldnât deny the shock you felt, his voice didnât sound like his. It sounded so foreign, not once has he ever raised it any higher than how he normally speaks, but you knew you crossed a line, though he somewhat surprised you with how he reacted you knew it was bound to happen, you pushed his buttons too far.
You brought your hands to your mouth, blowing hot air onto them to ease the burning feeling on your fingertips. You knew he didnât want to see you anytime soon but you didnât want to leave him alone all day, so you decided to stay at the place you and him always go to besides his campsite to let him calm down.
Albedoâs chest felt heavy. He couldnât bring himself to pick up his pen again, he couldnât bring himself to even think of the experiment as he felt utter guilt.
It was eating him alive, youâve been gone for a while now and the longer you didnât come back the more worried he felt.
He didnât mean to blow up on you. Heâs never raised his voice so high at you and the startled look on your face as he thinks back to what he did makes his heart feel heavy. The smell of the homemade soup you made is still heavy in the air as he looks down at the mess heâs made with it. He only sighs, pushing back his chair and getting up deciding to go find you himself as he knows you felt too guilty to come back yet, he knows you were just worried and he need to apologize properly, luckily for him he knows exactly where you went.
You were too caught up in your own thoughts, eyes scanning the city of Mondstadt below you, you missed the sound of footsteps approaching from behind you. A familiar pair of arms came into view as they wrapped themself around your waist pulling you back into their chest.
âAlbedo?â your voice came out so small, anyone who wasnât standing directly next to you wouldâve missed it.
âMhmn.â He hummed next to you, urging you to go on.
He felt the way your body tensed up knowing exactly what was about to come out of your mouth. A smile making its way onto his lipâs the longer you stared at his arms. He was waiting to see the reaction youâd give him once you found out.
âYour hands,â you scan the arms around your waist, noticing something missing on his wrists, something that felt off. âYour hands, these hands, theyâre not Albedoâs,â you all but whisper out more to yourself as you examine the fingers, palm and wrist if the person whose arms were wrapped around your torso. The person who looked exactly, even sounded exactly like your boyfriend.
âNow what kind of joke is that y/n? Thatâs impossible-â
âLet me go.â Your hands wrapped around his wrists, attempting to pry his arms off your waist which only wrapped around you tighter.
His smile widened, you could hear the sick smile and hum from the reaction you gave him.
He took a step forward and you felt your heart drop to your stomach, your terrible fear of heights only spiking as he took another step. You werenât too far from the edge of the mountain, and yes though you were absolutely terrified of heights this spot was one you loved because of the view, that and you also never got to close to the edge, not this close at least.
âLet you go? But itâs me, itâs albedo why are you-â
âDonât. even. try. Donât imitate him, youâre not Albedo.â you tried to sound as intimidating as possible though you were more than sure the rabid beat of your heart and your spiked pulse gave away how scared you truly were.
âYouâre not albedo, I donât know who you are or how you sound like him let alone even look exactly like him, but youâre not him, and you never will be.â your grasp around his wrists only tightened as you still tired pulling him away.
âDid you always bite back before?â The man behind you whispers, a chuckle escaping his lips moments after.
âAre you scared love?â He cooed, arms trapping you in place as he shoved you forward with a larger step this time.
You shut your eyes and gasped, too scared to open and look down at the steep slope beneath you.
âYou are? But you were doing so well at acting so tough just moments ago. What's wrong now? Donât you trust me.â His chest was pressed against your back as he took another step, chest rumbling at your crumbling facade you tried to keep up.
You felt his breath tickle your ear as he leaned down. âI heard you guys fighting. What has he done this time?â He asks, you only start to thrash in his hold. âIs he putting his work over his lovely significant other? Oh how shameful of him, truly what a shame. Iâd treat you better you know?â He jolted you upright, making you stand straight, your back fully pressed into his chest. âJust donât make a sound and come with me yeah?â The playful tone in his voice was gone in a second making your breath get caught in your throat by how quickly he switched up. Your head was spinning, he sounded so much like albedo, his skin felt just as soft, his height was exactly the same everything, he had everything like him, but it wasnât him. The missing diamond marks on his wrists and fast changing moods proving as evidence alone.
âWhy arenât you answering? You always answer for him? Why arenât you answering me? Is there something wrong with me?â He shoved you forward again, taking a big stride forward leaving only about 5 feet from the edge of the cliff and your feet.
You felt your foot slide forward beneath you, snow falling off the edge as you stood up again, regaining your posture. Your breathing was erratic, you stopped your thrashing as you held onto his wrists once again. You werenât even sure what to say or do, you felt utterly terrified.
âNow you're holding onto me?â He chuckled, breath tickling your neck making the hairs stand up straight, his voice went back to being condescending.
âThis scene sure is breathtaking huh?â His hand playfully pinched your waist as he circled his arms around you bringing you closer to his chest, hugging you against him.
âI do wonder,â he took another step forward.
âWhat would really happen to the human body if it were to plummet down from this altitude?â You nervously swallow, feeling your mouth go dry. âI mean the snow just looks so soft down there doesnât it?â another step, you felt your foot slip forward and a small yelp escaped your lips, making your eyes burn with fear.
âWhat if I conducted an experiment on you?â He asked, voice lowering as he took a small step forward. His own adrenaline pumping as he felt you shake in his hold, he wanted this, to take everything that was Albedoâs and make it his. To ruin everything Albedo loves. To completely corrupt him and make him the villain, make him the one that everyone hates.
Albedo noticed it was eerily quiet as he made his way up the trail, he spotted your footprints along it but hadnât expected to see another pair he didnât recognize leading up the same trail you had gone up, these prints were far more fresh than yours.
Albedo only stared longer noticing how the size of the print seems to be strikingly similar to his, making him more uneasy as a horrible feeling sets itself on his chest once again.
He quickly stood up and started walking faster. âTheyâll be there, looking out over the place they love most, waiting for me, theyâll be there.â Albedo repeats to himself in his head, his legs pick up the pace the feeling of uneasiness making him slightly nauseous, mostly because only you and him know of this spot, no one else.
His legs come to a halt when a familiar voices hits his ears, his heartbeat almost too loud but he catches the voice alright. He feels the hairs on his arms stand because he recognizes the voice so well, the voice wasnât yours. It was his own voice coming from the end of the trail, along with harsh movements.
The sounds of struggle only made Albedo move his legs again, his hand lifted to his lips to make sure he wasnât going crazy and speaking himself, but his lips were sealed shut, having not opened since he last screamed at you to leave.
Turning the corner of the trail to the scenic view his heart was hammering in his chest. There you were, standing looking out like you always were, except he was behind you? He was standing right behind you, holding you close, as you struggled in his hold.
It took Albedo a second to realize just how close the clone of himself had you to the edge and his strides widened, wanting nothing more than to have you in his arms and out of the fake person pretending to be him.
âDonât move.â He heard the clone version of himself speak up as he neared you, sword already drawn in hand ready to strike.
You stop struggling, your head snapped back to see Albedo, the real one, your Albedo behind you with his sword drawn.
âBedo,â you whisper, lips wobbling as you feel relief wash over your body, he came in time and you knew heâd protect you.
âImpeccable timing I must say, but I was about to get my answer, what a shame.â Albedos clone smirked at the real one as he slowly turned around with you in his hold so you were now fully facing Albedo.
âLet them go.â Albedo simply stated, getting straight to the point.
âHahaha, Youâre funnier than I thought youâd be,â fake albedo chuckled, hand coming up to your face to cup it gently as he glared at Albedo. âYouâve been so mean to them latley, why the change of heart now? I was just telling them how I can treat them way more-â
âDonât touch them.â Albedo took a step closer, sword pointing at the man behind you. Youâve never seen Albedo look so panicked, his usual soft unreadable features now showing signs of worry with his furrowed brows, uneven breathing and shaky hands.
âAh,â fake albedo took a step back and you grasped his arms around your waist to steady yourself. âNono, not a step closer or else.â Clone Albedo tutted, shaking his head as he clicked his tongue.
âTake another step and itâs not just me thatâll go down, the snow at the bottom looks so soft and Iâve been wanting to conduct an experiment for a while now you see. If you take another step closer Iâll have no choice but to use dear y/n here as my test subject to see if the human body will survive such a fall or if the soft looking snow at the bottom will help with the impact or not.â He explained, smile widening at Albeodâs uneasiness.
âNo,â Albedo lifted his sword higher, glancing at your tear stricken face he only gripped the hilt tighter. âDonât you dare.â Albedo spoke slowly, feeling his stomach drop with every word his clone self spoke.
âIt's not you who gets to decide.â Clone Albedo glared, thumb caressing the side of your cheek as he rested his head upon your shoulder, feeling them slightly tremble. âWould you care to join me in this joint experiment of mine dear y/n?â
Another step back.
You felt your bottom lip wobble as you bit down not wanting the sob to escape. You were beyond scared, plummeting to your death was something that always made your skin crawl. What a sick twist of fate, your worst fear was being served to you on a silver platter.
âNo, p-please donât.â Your voice cracked, Albedoâs features hardened as he saw tears run down you cheeks.
Another step back.
Clone Albedo just had one more step and youâd both go down. You didnât think your life would end in such a horrible way, the way you feared the most.
âI-I donât want to go with you, I donât want to be part of your experiment. Please just let me stay.â You choke out, trying to plant your feet onto the ground to stop him from dragging you back any further.
âWhy?â His grip on your face tightened making you wince. âWhy should he get to keep you while I get left with nothing? When he treats you so mean. Iâve been watching you both for so long. Why am I the one who has to be left all alone? All these years i've seen you have everything youâve ever wanted, everything I could ever hope for, and yet you take things for granted Albedo, but this,â a wide smile spreads across his lips, âthis should teach you to treasure the things you have, because you never know what might happen, in an instant, just like you took the life I was supposed to have, Iâll take one of the lives you were supposed to treasure.â He laughs, both his arms tightening around your waist as he let his body fall back.
Your eyes only widened, you looked at Albedo in shock as he threw his sword down, his arm outstretched to you but you felt your whole body tipping back as he did so. You stretched out your own arm in hopes to just maybe get a grasp of Albedoâs hand, just maybe.
It felt like time slowed down, you couldnât really move so you just stood frozen as you felt yourself slowly tip back fully, the view of the sky meeting your eyes as you felt the body behind you rumble as his laughter grew louder. The weight of his body dragged you down along with him, you no longer felt the snow beneath your feet as you felt yourself get pulled down along with the clone of albedo.
A hand came into view once again, a familiar gloved one that you loved so much. Along with his hand came an expression youâve never seen him wear, a sad, scared terrified look gracing his features. Crystal like tears rolling down his face as he reached as far as his arm would let him without letting his own body slip down too. Your hand flew up and you felt his touch, fleeting but still there and just in time.
He gripped your hand in his, his other arm gripping onto the sharp unsteady rock next to the edge to hold himself from falling down.
The pain shot down his whole body, from the very arm that was holding the weight of holding two people down to his chest. His heart was beating so loud in his ears. Though he felt as if his arm was about to tear out of its socket at any given moment he couldnât care less about the excruciating pain he was experiencing, not when you were looking at him with such scared eyes. No matter what, he had to pull you up at all costs.
âY-You canât,â You choke out, clone Albedo pulling you down further making you slip a bit in Albedoâs grasp.
âJust let go, your arm canât take anymore.â You try to stop the tears, your eyes burned from the sheer cold you felt. Your scared face making more tears spill out of Albedoâs own eyes as he shook his head.
âNO! NO I WONT!â Albedo yelled, refusing to do so, knowing he wonât be able to live with himself if he ever did such a thing. Not after what he told you earlier, not after how he treated you so horribly and hasnât had the chance to properly apologize, he sure as hell wasnât going to let you go.
Clone Albedo only laughed at Albedos struggle. He wanted to see him crumble, to see him fall into despair, to take everything that was his and to replace him, to be the better version of him.
âTrying so hard to save them? Just let go, you were screaming at them to leave earlier whatâs the difference if they leave like this.â Clone Albedo yelled, as he pushed his legs against the cliff making you slip in Albedos hands just a bit more.
The rock Albedoâs was using to steady himself moved making him slip forward. The sharp rock only pierced through his glove and into his hand.
âALBEDO, ALBEDO STOP!â You screamed, getting his attention as he faced you again, you couldnât stand seeing him struggle so much, you knew it was hurting him but you couldnât drag him down anymore. You knew what had to be done.
You twist your hand in his and his eyes widen. âY/N DONT YOU DARE, STOP MOVING PLEASE, PLEASE DONT-â he choked out, his fresh tears hitting your face as he looked down at you in desperation.
âIâm sorry love, but I canât let you get dragged down as well.â You whisper, twisting in his hold once again as you felt yourself slip though his hold.
The look of terror on his face made your eyes blur more as you felt the clone of Albedo drag you down with him, the last thing you heard was the sound of your name being screamed from the lips of your lover. You hoped he can forgive you for making such a selfish decision on your own, but he was too important to lose, you just couldnât drag him down too, not after all the mess youâve caused already. All you could do was offer a smile to him as you fell, his figure leaning over the edge becoming more distant before everything went black.

Xiao was not fond of caring about others' emotions, nor did it ever occur to him that he should care. He tried to keep his life as simple and as peaceful as possible because he deserved it after everything he went through before. Which was why he was so confused when someone would cry in front of him. Xiao never cried when times were hard, what made those salty tears escape human eyes so easily?
Most of the time, he never saw people cry, and if he did, he ignored it. That's how he was taught to deal with emotion, he'd ignore it.
It began when you were up in your room at the Inn, minding your business and trying to figure out how to make the woven bracelet that the Traveler had taught you. Frankly, it was pretty difficult, and when the Traveler was teaching you, you were so busy watching them that you never actually learned.
The hours were beginning to fly by and you could hardly make out the original pattern you were trying to replicate. Repeated failures over and over and piling yarn began to stack up on the bed next to you. It was when you had finally gotten it down to only mess up again because something distracted you was when you finally snapped.
Throwing the bracelet across the room where it rested under the table, streams of hot tears began to roll down your cheeks in frustration. You were doing everything right, why wasn't it working!
It happened to be the same time you were leaving your room when Xiao was strolling down the hallway. The two of you made eye contact and his eyes flew to where the tears were running toward the bottom of your neck. His eyes widened only a little bit and his mouth opened and closed like a fish only to not know what to say.
You also stood still and stared at him. Why? Maybe you were just waiting for him to comfort you or you were curious about what he had to say. But when it was clear that he'd keep gapping like a fish, you started to walk off again. Only for him to grab your wrist before you made it too far and pull you a bit toward him.
"Are you okay?" He asked in a soft voice, hardly making eye contact with you and finding his shoes on the floor more entertaining. It was shocking to see him show such concern in general, but you remembered why you were upset and started to ball again. Pushing yourself into his chest and crying warm tears into his shirt.
His hands fumbled on the sides of you for a while until he rested them softly on your hips. Awkwardly patting you in a form of reassurance he'd never shown anyone before.
His face was pretty flat when you began to show signs of distress and sadness. Albedo was too focused on his experiment to even realize that something went wrong on your end. The sound of a beaker crashing to the floor sounded across the room, but he still kept looking forward, hardly hearing anything at all.
That sound kept up for a while, you were pretty sure you broke at least 5 beakers in the time it took for you to get them from the spare cabinet. It wasn't until the 6th beaker that you managed to catch did Albedo actually turn around to see what had happened.
His experiment seemed to be going fine, the color of the liquid sitting at the bottom of the beaker matching the picture right next to it perfectly. You sighed when you saw he had already beaten you to make the antidote.
"I don't know how you do it 'bedo. This one is probably the most difficult I've done." You said before wiping your forehead which was littered with sweat from how hard you'd been concentrating.
"Just try again, I'm sure you'll be able to complete it." He said, his encouraging words going little to no length and falling straight to the floor. It didn't help that the trashcan full of your previous broken beakers was so close. It was extremely discouraging to see how much damage you've caused just trying to learn how to brew the antidote.
Then Albedo took his leave, putting his things down when he realized the clock read 9 PM. Bidding you goodbye, he looked back one last time with his handle on the doorknob and spoke. "Humans sometimes do not carry the skill to complete such a difficult task, do not push yourself to do something you simply can't achieve."
And then the door shut. All you did was stare at where he previously had been, his words repeating in an endless loop shrinking infinitely into your mind.
"Huh?" Was all you said before a warm feeling rushed down your cheeks and landed on the toe of your shoes. Did he just call me stupid? You thought to yourself. The frustration you felt along with the fact that he just said that, caused a rush of salty tears to leave your eyes. Your eyelashes stuck together as tears mended them together.
You continued to stand there and cry, until the door opened again and the alchemist stuck his head back in the door, announcing he forgot something towards the floor. That was until he lifted his head up to see you standing there, crying. For once, he stood still and just stared at you unable to conjure any words for the scene he was witnessing.
The sniffles and the silent sounds of tears padding the floor were all that was making sound in the room. As Albedo continued to stare at you like the two of you were playing a game of freeze tag.
"I'm stupid aren't I 'bedo?" You said, which made him flinch when the sound of the nickname you gave him came out in a harsh and rude manner. "Too stupid to figure out the dumb potion because I'm just a mere human in your eyes."
"What're you talking about?" He said, with the quietest and most emotion-full voice you've ever heard him use. Albedo continued to step closer to you, almost as if he was never moving at all. When he finally did reach you, his hand brushed against your cheek and his eyes held so much concern it could fill up the sea.
"I don't think you're lesser than me, is this about what I said? I didn't mean it like that..."
You kept sniffling while looking at him, still stubborn for more than what he was giving you. His arms reached around you and held you close, something he often did when Klee would sob, which he learned from Jean.
The two of you stood like that for a while, until the blazing sun rested its eyes in the distance, and the sorrowful moon began to creep up the valley.
"What is wrong with you??" Tighnari's harsh voice came out in a way you only heard once in a while. His irritated look glared at you from where you stood, all you had done was knock down a few books, but it looked like other things were really beginning to upset him.
You expected to greet the forest ranger and spend some time together, seeing as the both of you made those plans a while ago, but it seems that he was really busy with something that he was supposed to finish a while ago.
He whipped his head back to look at the beakers on the table, making a very loud and audible sigh at your appearance here. "I'm busy, so make another time for..." He waved his hands around dramatically and quick, "Whatever it was you were planning and leave me be."
You stood silent for a while, shocked that he was giving you such an attitude, but at the same time, you had no idea how to respond to what he said. So, you did just that and didn't respond, turning on your heels and leaving. Unfortunately, Tighnari didn't hear you leave and assumed you were still sitting there waiting for him like usual. So when he turned around and opened his mouth to address you and apologize, he stopped in his tracks to see you weren't there.
When you saw Tighnari again, it was actually just his voice you had heard and your eyes didn't flicker to see if it was actually him. Collei was holding some sort of dinner for the forest rangers in the area, to both thank them and congratulate her for beating Eleazar. But you finally did see him when it was too late, and you were bumping into the forest ranger with food in your hands.
A shocked gasp came out of your mouth till the echoed noise of a bowl rumbled onto the ground and crashed down, the food flying along with it. Your distressed state increased, and you immediately flew down to try and clean it up.
In fact, you were so busy trying to clean the bowl of food that had spilled over that you didn't even realize the forest ranger was standing behind you with his hands behind his back. Until the call of your name was repeated for the 3rd time, did you turn around to look at him, tears in your eyes from how frustrated you were?
Tighnari's eyes widened before he immediately dropped to his knees and put his hand on your shoulder for comfort. It shocked him to see you in such a vulnerable state, especially with how cheery you always seemed around him.
"What happened? Are you alright?" Tighnari said, before moving his eyes down to the food splattered all over the dirt. You didn't even realize how much helping out at the party would stress you out. As soon as Tighnari muttered the words are you alright, tears flooded out more and more as you tried to hide your face in your hands. Your shoulders and body shook with how much you were crying. Tighnari moved closer to you and shielded you with his body.
Not only did he treat you terribly before, but the first time he sees you in days, you were crying? His heart felt like it could break then and there. His hand came around your back to soothingly rub circles on it while you continued to sob. His ears even flattened a bit on his head in guilt.
When Collei had come around the corner to see the pasta salad splattered on the ground, and Tighnari hugging you with his tail between his legs. She smiled and sighed a bit, before walking away to leave you two be.
It felt like a long time while the two of you sat like that, his hand never stopping to rub your back. You finally pulled away to look at him and Tighnari rested his hand on your cheek in a comforting manner.
"I'm sorry I treated you like that, I was irritated and you came in at a bad time. I never want to hurt you." His guilt-written face and ears practically flattened to his head making your heart beat in a painful rhythm.
"You can make it up to me by helping me clean this up?" You said as a sly grin grew a little bit on your face. He smiled back and rolled up his sleeves to begin cleaning.
Scaramouche was a mean boy, everyone knew that he had no filter and he acted as if he didn't care about anyone when in reality it was the exact opposite.
"You're pathetic!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, looking at your shocked expression and stance from across the room. You had just failed to do the task that Nahida assigned you again, and it seemed like the newly-found anemo holder was growing more and more impatient watching you fail over and over.
"Excuse me?" You spat back, clearly irritated with his outburst and pushiness. Scaramouche scoffed again before trailing over to where you were, Nahida watching the interaction from her desk.
"You've been doing it all wrong, and that pathetic idiot brain can't seem to comprehend that." His fingers flew a swift flick to your head, pushing you back a centimeter. "If you keep failing, shouldn't you be trying something else instead of pushing the same solution over and over? Moron."
His insults over and over were hurting, sure, but you were used to it. When you felt good. Right now, this was the last thing you needed after failing again and again. At one point you even glanced over at Nahida after failing and saw her face look a bit reluctant about your skills. Which increased your anxiety tenfold.
"I never knew someone could be so stupid. I even worked with morons every day in the Fatui, but none match up to how idiotic you are." Scaramouche just kept blasting insult after insult at you. What was with him today? Was he really that peeved you didn't wait for him in the morning to walk over here?
Moving aside and putting your hands up defensively, you made way for the prince and his smart brain. He moved in front of you and began looking down at what you were doing. It looked like Nahida was still working with you on Fermat's Last Theorem, which was an extremely difficult math equation, back in the 17th century. Scaramouche made a noticeable eye roll before sitting down to begin writing out how to solve it.
What he didn't see was your reaction to the last flinching insult he threw your way. He didn't witness the tears swell up in your eyes and he also didn't see you walk away and leave the sanctuary. Only witnessing your presence gone when he looked up to turn another sarcastic comment towards you. Scaramouche's eyes widened for a fraction of a second before looking around him to see where you went. He turned towards Nahida when he couldn't find you and she looked up at him before looking back down at her papers.
"Tsk, whatever." He pushed his seat back and sat up to leave, wondering what he should have for dinner instead of concerning himself with where you went. It wasn't until later in the evening when he saw you again, sitting back at the desk, not uttering an obnoxious sigh or an irritating "What does this mean??"
He eased himself over to you with his hands in his pockets before leaning behind your shoulder to see what you were doing. You were working on the problem again, but his copy of it was nowhere to be seen, that is until he looked towards the trash and saw his handwriting on the paper barely crumpled and resting near the top of the bin.
"You threw away my paper?" He said with irritation lining every letter. You kept writing though and paid him no mind. The silent treatment seemed to be really riling him up because he continued to berate you over and over as you sat there taking it and continuing to work.
It was only an hour later that it really started to bother him with you being quiet. Maybe what he said earlier was too harsh, he didn't really feel that bad, but if it meant you weren't going to speak to him then he had to do something.
Leaning over you again, he placed his hand on your upper arm, grabbing your attention from the unusual act. His eyes met yours and held the stare for a couple seconds before he spoke,
"I'm sorry." That was all he said.
You raised an eyebrow at him, before squinting your eyes in confusion and responding.
"Sorry for what..?" The sarcasm dripped from every syllable and landed on his fragile ego.
His eyes widened and he took his hand from your arm, frowning and shouting back,
"I don't repeat myself! Accept the apology I gave you."
"You're such a child, does saying sorry really hurt that bad?"
"You heard me!"
Your eyes rolled and you turned back to your paper as if you were going back to ignoring him, his eyes softened again and he grabbed your arm once more.
"I'm sorry I said those mean words to you. I didn't mean it, I don't like it when you leave without me and I don't like it when you're upset."
When he grabbed your arm, you didn't turn to face him again, but after hearing the words he spoke, you turned again with a smile on your face and leaned closer to his.
The blush was evidently growing the more you leaned in, and you could see his adam's apple bob with nervousness.
"I accept your apology Kunikuzushi."
SAYING SOMETHING OUT LOUD. multi
it's been on my mind quite a while. ( or, genshin characters + accidental confessions when they think you don't hear them.)
ft. diluc, kaeya, albedo, childe, xiao, kazuha x genderneutral reader
warnings : fluff, slight angst, blushy blushy, me bullying kazuha but its affectionate !1! i wrote this at 2 am editing tomorrow :]
DILUC RAGNVINDR. noctua
"i want to marry you someday." are the words he mutters when all he can do is stare at you, when he thinks you aren't looking. where diluc ragnvindr's entire mind goes blank â not a thought behind those pretty, red eyes besides 'oh god oh fuck' when you eventually catch him. diluc doesn't want you to know about all the ugly sides of him, about how rough he is around the edges. he doesn't want you to get caught up with himâhe can't let the fire burn you like it has burnt everything else in his life.
he coughs, and refuses to acknowledge it ever happened despite your countless jabs to get him to say somethingâto say anything. it's quiet and diluc wants so badly to pretend it never happened, to pretend he never said anything because he doesn't want to ruin itâto lose you too. you huff slightly in frustration, and diluc resists the urge to laugh despite the situation he's put himself in. it's strange how you can make him smile even when it feels his mind is crumbling.
the silence settles and diluc can feel the anxiety ripple through his body as he steals a glance in your direction. just as he can get ready to apologize, your finger pulls his hand into yours. "we don'tâwe don't need to get married now, but in the future ... will you marry me?"
KAEYA ALBERICH. pavo ocellus
"i don't know if i love you yet, but if this isn't love then i don't know what is." are the words he whispers into your hair, on nights where he thinks you're asleep. where kaeya alberich is at the breaking point, teetering on the line between loving you and keeping you out.
on nights where all he wants is to say i love you without the fear of you understanding. the fear of you loving him because how can you love someone you don't really know? how can you love him if even he doesn't know who he is? you're a breath of relief to him and kaeya wants nothing more than to be able to breathe without guilt. his fingers rake through your hair, and kaeya knowsâhe knows he doesn't deserve to have you in his arms like this, but he can't help but be selfish when it comes to you.
you turn your head, your face only inches away from his, before kissing the tip of his nose and holding him tighter. it's there that kaeya finally let's himself close his eyes. there's so much you want to say, but for now, it'll have to wait till morning, when he can be completely sure you know what you're saying when you say you love him.
ALBEDO. princeps cretaceous
"you're my muse." are the words he replies with, nonchalantly when you ask why you have to sit still, instead of working like jean had told you to. on the days where he finds himself unconsciously writing your name in his notes, sketching your face in the margins. albedo doesn't even realize he's said it, he doesn't realize how the words affect you until he looks up from his sketch book to find you staring at him in surprise.
albedo doesn't understand love, he hasn't even fully grasped the idea of it, but it's obvious to everyone with the subtle reminders to take care of yourself because albedo doesn't know how to express his feelings any other way. "is something wrong?" he asks, concern laced into his tone before you shake your head, a smile growing on your face. "muse? did you mean that?" and his mind blanks, before the realization hits him.
"ah i didn'tâwell, i did mean that, but it doesn't need to mean anything if you don't want it to." he says in a panic, even if it's not obvious to most. his voice trails off before he finally exhales. you laugh, crouching infront of his sitting figure before pushing the bangs out of his face. his gaze remains focused on you the entire time, an eyebrow raised. his eyes widen, before muttering a quick "oh." against your lips. albedo doesn't understand love, but he thinks he can try if it's for you.
CHILDE. monoceros caeli
"i don't care about the fatuiâabout work, about my reputation, justâtell me to stay, tell me to come home and ill come home as long as it's you." are the words he whispers the night before he has to leave, again. childe knows he has toâit's his job, his responsibility as a harbinger, but when he sees his family, when he sees you, he can't help but feel like throwing it all away.
on nights where he can't let you go, his siblings having to physically pry him off to eat breakfast, on nights where he thinks if he doesn't hold you now he won't remember what your hugs feel like. childe doesn't cryâhe doesn't want to cry in front of you, in front of his siblings because he's supposed to be strong, but he can't stop it when you make him weak.
he buries his face into your neck, promising to give you anything, despite him being the only thing you want. childe interlocks your pinkies, he promises a future. one where he won't have to worry about not being there to kiss you goodnight, but for now, you can only whisper your declarations of love till the brink of dawn. "i promise, ill be here when you come back, ajax."
XIAO. alatus nemeseos
"till the day i dieâim not going anywhere, not without you." in response to a question you'd asked him earlier that day, one he was too afraid to answer. "are you leaving?" you asked, rubbing the tiredness from you eyes, strands of hair sticking out as you watch him from the bed. he knowsâxiao knows that's not what you meant, not in that context, but the question struck enough fear in his heart that he had left without warning.
you lie asleep on his shoulder and xiao wonders if he ever really will leave. if one day the guilt that scratches at his throat whenever he says your name will be the last sign needed to push you away, for your own good. the sun is warm on your skin, and xiao hopes that somewhere in the depths of your mind, you'll hear the words he's too scared to say while you're awake.
xiao doesn't make promises, because he knows that there's always a possibility he wouldn't be able to keep them, but as the sun falls on your figure, xiao can't help himself. he never can when it comes to you. "you've stayed ... you've stayed this long, no going back, okay?" he sighs, and xiao can only hope you'll let him stay with you as long as he can. you hand finds it's way into his, interlocking them as you absentmindedly trace shapes into his knuckles. "no going back." you mumble into his shoulder before going back to sleep, and xiao freezes in shock, before slowly holding your hand tighter, tapping 3 times on the back of your hand. a silent 'i love you.'
KAEDEHARA KAZUHA. acer palmatum
"you're everything. everything compared to whatever this world has to offer." are the words he says when you ask how his travels went. kazuha has never been able to stay in one spot for too long, be it because of the price on his head but because he's always been homesick for places he's never known, for places he's never been to. he's traveled so much, yet he's never been truly at home anywhere, because every time he says he's homesick, he really just misses you. kazuha would bring you with him if he could, because atleast that way he'd always be home with you.
kazuha plants kisses into your shoulder, trapping you in his arms the second he gets home. early in the morning when you've barely gotten ready for the day, adrenaline coursing through him because he's finally home in your arms. kazuha talks about the places he's been, wishing he'd brought a kamera so he could show you everything he saw, everything that reminded him of you while he was away. he talks about the people he metâstories that sound so bizarre you have to poke his cheek and ask if he's exaggerating.
"huh, they really .. don't come close to being here with you." kazuha chuckles. he talks like he's in a daze when he looks at you, and it's probably because he is. "you're everything. everything compared to whatever this world has to offer" he whispers, before laughing in an attempt to distract you from the blush on his cheeks and the things he just said. "wait what did you say? i couldn't hear you." you ask incredulously, while he only smiles, planting soft kisses on your neck. "nothing, nothing."
you roll yours eyes, fighting the smile tugging at your lips. "for the record, you're my everything too."
